son of Mr. A. H. Dedels and the 
late Mrs. Dedels, was killed in 
action in the Central Mediter- 
ranean Forces on October 17th. 

Cpl. Dedels enlisted in S.A.R. 
in February, 1941, receiving his 
training at Nanaimo, B.C., Niag- 
ara Falls and Nova Scotia. Fle 
went overseas with a Tank Regi- 
ment in September of 1912, re- 
maining in England until July 
1913, when he was sent to Africa 
and later to Italy. 

Howard was born June 3, 1915, 
and received his education in 
Didsbury. For several years pre- 
vious to his enlistment, he man- 
aged the ‘Rosebud Dairy’. He 
was admired and well-liked by 
all who knew him because of his 
cheery disposition. ‘Howey" 
will be sadly missed by his rela- 
tives and many friends. 

Besides his father, he leaves to 
mourn their loss, one sister, 
Celina, Didsbury; and four broth- 
ers, Fred, Didsbury; Pte. Gordon, 
of the R.C.,A.M.C., England; Gnr. 


Earl, of the R.C.A., Italy; and 
Pte. Elbert, of the R.C.A.S.C., 
Italy. 


We express our deepest sym- 
pathy to the sorrowing family.

Tag Days Successful 


The tag days last week, under 
the auspices of the Didsbury and 
District Tobacco Fund, were very 
successful, and the proceeds 
amounted to $160.13, 

The committee was delighted 
With the generous response from 
the public, which will enable 
them to continue sending cigar- 
ettes to the boys overseas. 

They wish to tender their 
thanks to all who contributed, 
also to the ladies and girls whose 
“tagging’’ brought such good 
results.

The Missionary teas are going 
over in a big way. The second 
one was held at the home of Mrs. 
Ruth Eckel on Wednesday, Oc 
tober 18, with more than thirty 
ladies present. Mrs. Roy Me 
Arthur was joint hostess. Mrs. 
Dora Edwards poured tea 

At the last missionary meeting 
it was pointed out what a help to 
the war effort the christianizing 
of the South Pacific Islands had 
turned out to be. Sailors and 
soldiers were given the best ot 
care once the Islanders found out 
they were Christians, which, of 


course, reminds us of our pet 
missionary story 
The minister pointed out to 


the native chief, that now he was 
a christian, he must keep one 
only of his fifty wives. ‘Pick 
one’, he said, ‘‘and tell the rest 
to go home”. The native chiet 
looked at the glowering faces of 
his wives, then at the missionary. 
He replied, “you tell them”.

Canada's Naval Power 


CANADIANS HAVE WATCHED, with pride and interest, the rapid 
expansion of the Royal Canadian Navy during the past five years, Before 
the war, it comprised only about a dozen ships, while the personnel num- 
bered around 1,700. Now there are hundreds of ships and the Canadian 
Naval personnel consists of arcund 100,000 men, Canada is now rated as 
the fourth largest sea power in the world. Britain, the United States and 
Japan have navies larger but with the inevitable elimination 
of Japan from this list it is apparent that Canada will socn move up to 
thiid place. This rapid growth tn naval prestige is a remarkable one, for it 
has meant a great increase not only in the numbers of men and ships, but 
in naval bases, ship yards and the many other requisites necessary to keep 
@ pewerful navy afloat 


than ours, 


The record of the Royal Canadian Navy in combat 
is a splendid one Recent information given out by 
Splendid One Mr peigig at rte Minister na the Navy, yore cut 

that 109 Canadian ships participated in the invasion 
of Europe f our sailors taking part in the action that time 
the largest single convey which ever crossed the ocean was moved by the 
Canadian Navy, This convoy consisted of 150 ships, and carried more than 
& million tons of vital materials to the war fronts. During the past sum 
mer Nerth Atlantic convoy duty was carried out entirely by Canadian ships 
and tn addition the Canadian Navy is credited With sinking 13 surface ships 
It has 
destruction of

and 15 submarines, and hus captured or damaged 17 enemy ships. 
also taken part, with ships of other Allied nations, in the 
many enemy craft 

e ° o s * 


Although the grown with gratifying 


e 
Fine Tradition speed during the past few years, it is not intended 
Has Been Made ae this development shall cease when the war 


over, Canada has established a tradition as 
a naval power which she will endeavour to maintain in the post-war years 
Existing plans provide for a permanent naval 
but the Naval Minister suggested in his report that this number should be 
raised to 15,000 and that our fleet should consist of two airplane carriers, 
two cruisers, and light destroyers, This would call for an annual expendi 
ture of $50,000,000 which might be ecnsidered a large item in a peacetime 
budget. That will be a matter to be decided later At present the people 
of Canada may feel justifiably proud of the part their navy has played in 
defeating the Axis powers

This Bible Goes Through Battle In, 


Two Wars 

A father and son in the service of 
their country met recently at camp 
of the New York Pert of Embarka- 
tion, 

“Guess what I've here?" the son 
asked as he greeted his father, Mas 
ter Sgt. Galan Swank, of Congers, 
N.Y., formerly of Minneapolis, Minn., 
and a top kick in the first A.E.F. 

With that, the son, Staff Sgt. 
Marcell Swank, produced a_ Bible, 
bloody and sweat-stained, which his 
father had carried while fighting in 
the Argonne Forest in the last war, 

When young Swank went over- 
seas, his father gave him the Bible. 
li was with the son during nine 
bloody hours at Dieppe and when 
wounded by shrapnel, he was pulled 
aboard a British destroyer. 

Swank recovered, and, taking the 
Bible alcng, went to North Africa. 
He was at El Guettar in Tunisia 
when his outfit received the Presiden- 
tial citation, Next came Sicily and 
Salerno and then the drive through 
Italy. Finally, Swank and his bat- 
tered Bible were returned home

Speech Therapy 


Treating Flying Men Who Have 
Suffered From Factal Injurtes 
Eagerly welcomed by the Royal 

Air Force as a contribution toward 

the rehabilitation of flying men with 

facial injuries who have virtually to 
be taught to speak again, the first 
recorded color film of the tongue 

movements has been made by A 

physiologist, J. Y. Bogue, and an 

R.A.F. research man, Dennis Fry. To 

obtain the film, the authorg secured 

the co-operation of a Londoner aged 

72, whose longue was exposed to view 

as the result of an operation involy 

ing the removal of the right cheek 

An article describing thie process 

appeared in “Endeavour", published 

by the Imperial Chemical Industries 

The film record of the tongue 
movement is accompanied by a sound 
track, The shots taken are intended 

for analysis in conjunction with a 

cathode ray oscillogram of the speech 

Such

Stores Of Hidden Wealth 


Are Awaiting Development In | 
Canada's Western Northland 


O developments singe the days of the Klondike gcld rush have focussed 

so much attention on Canada's Western Northland as the building 

of the Alaska Highway and the completion cf the Canol project. But during | 

the past ten years this territory has seen a continuous and progressive min: | 

ing development which, although less spectacular and less publicized, has | 

nevertheless been a major factor in bringing this great hinterland into its! 
rightful place in the Canadian economy. 


In that period the territory has 
vielded minerals valued at nearly 
$21,000,000, This does not include 
radium production in 1942-43, the 


figures of which are not available for 
publication. Of this total $6,655,925 
was produced in the last two years. 
Gold, radium-silver and petroleum 
products made up the bulk of this 
mineral contribution. Copper, lead, 
tungsten and several other valuable 
minerals have also been recovered 
in promising quantities. 

It is expected that mineral produc- 
tion will provide the chief source of 
empleyment in this region during the 
postwar years. Impetus to mining 
in the Territories has been stimulated 
by the intensive search for strategic 
war minerals carried on as a sequence 
to the geological investigations and 
mapping work completed by field 
parties sent out by the Department 
of Mines and Resources Ottawa 
There has been considerable activity 
in the Yellowknife Distriet during 
1944, More than 2800 claims have 
been staked there already this year 
and 70 mining companies pros: 
pecting in the district 
newest gold field is therefore receiv 
ing its full share of attention from 
the mining public even in these diffl- 
cult times, Construction cf the road 
Which parallels the Canol pipeline

sance has been carried out along this

Africa. That is one reason why it 
Was necessary to ration tea 
Now here's the story. Since early 


in 1942 a large part cf Indias tea- 
producing industry has been operat- 
ing in a front line theatre of war in 
Which tea planters have mixed agri- 
culture 


with a variety of wartime 
activities. When the Japanese ine 
vaded Burma, the tea planters took 
part in invasion alerts and air raid 
precautions, and helped build military 
roads and airfields. They loaned 
thousands cf workers from the tea 
gurdens to the military author ties, 
and the network of communications 
they helped construct is today play- 
ing a vital role in the offensive 
against the Japanese in Burma 
In the jungle covered hills the 
planters set up camps which supplied 
food and medical aid to thousands of 
Burmese refugees Elephant trains 
carrying quinine, bandages and other 
SUppliggs Ruided by tea planters, 
pressed even turther into wild coune 
try in which refugees had to be 
ferried across raging rivers on rafts 
strung together by logs and jungle 
Vines, Doctors from the tea planta- 
tions fought epidemics while the 
wives of the planters nursed the sick, 


wounded and exhausted 


And all this time the planters were 
also increasing tea producti ti

produced the record tea crop of S70

Why She’s a She 

The question of why a locomotive 
is called a ‘'she” has been referred 
to one of the railroaders. He says: 

“There are many reasons for this 
For instance, she wears a jicket 
with a yoke, pins and shields, She 
has an apron and a lap, tor, Not 
only does she have shoes, but she 
sports pumps and even hose while 
she drags trains behind her, She 
also attracts attention with puffs 
aod mufflers and some times she 
foams and refuses to work. She 
needs guiding and she requires a 
man to feed her, but most charac 
teristic of all is that she is much 
steadier when she is hooked up.”

‘It is from the rural districts that 
Canada draws her strength. Again

deflation, unemployment and confusion. For Canada to manage successfully the change 
back to peace, maintain employment, and meet the world’s competition . 
continue to have stable economic conditions. To protect the individual from rising costs of 


living and later unemployment we must continue to prevent inflation. 


To prevent a repetition of the conditions following the last war

Righting A Wrong 


The price is too high.” 

(his is the reason given, by mans 

vator agents, for failure to 
interest. farmers in Registered or 
Certified seed. If this statement is 
true, it must be based on one, or 
hoth, of two suppositions They 
ure: 

1, That mixed or ‘scrub’ eeed will 
give as good, or almost as good, 
a return per acte as will pedi- 
greed seed, 

That the seed growers are inaking 
too large profits. 

Both @suppositions are wrong. 
Generally speaking, yield, grade and 
quality, especially of wheat, are 
inferior in mixed stocks. Most mixe 
tures, found on prairie farms, con- 
tain early and late tw pes, rust 
resistant and rust susceptible types, 
poor quality types, etc. Remember 
that it is not necessary to buy 
expensive seed every year, With 
proper care, Registered or Certified 
seed will continue to produce a 
reasonably pure commercial crop 
for several years. Therefore, the 
cost of pure seed must not all be 
charged to the year in which the 
purchase was made, 

The question of seed growers’ 
profits can be dismissed with a few 
words, It takes a mighty good 
farmer to be a successful seed 
grower. In most cases, these “good 
farmers” could make more money 
by producing commercial grain. 
Then, why don't they? Simply 
because they get fond of their pure 
stocks just as does the livestock 
breeder. They take a very real 
pride in their own high standards 
and do not measure success solely in 
terms of money income. 

The price is not too high.

DIDSBURY PIONEER, DIDSBURY, ALTA. October 26, 1944 


| A Dangerous 
Guessing Contest 


oni 
The probable date when cease 
fire will sound in Europe is im- 
portant to us because almost every 
One in this country has a vital n- 
terest in the ending of hostilities. 
Given the approximate date, families 
of men overseas can begin to esti- 
mate the time which must elapse 
before they receive their loved ones 
back home agaio. Lubor has an 
additional interest in the date, in 
planoing for the transition petiod 
overlapping war production and the 
new production of peacetime goods, 
Business men, who must plot the 
future of their establishments with 
great care, are especially keen to 
have some one give them an ap 
proximate date of the conclusion of 
hostilities in Europe, 


Thus, when at various times Mr, 
Churchill, General Eisenhower, Gen- 
eral Montgomery, Admiral Halsey 
and others have attempted to give 
the public an idea of the length of 
time it would take to fiuish up the 
military campaign, their words have 
been read avidly, 

But io the wake of sueh state- 
meots there has been a wave of 
other predictions from ten thousand 
minor and less informed circles, 
Especially since “'D" Day, almost 
every man in the street has been 
taking a guess at the date of "V’ 
Day. 

All of this might be harmless, 
were it not for the psychological 
effect that the confest has on people 
at large, For one thing, many are 
led into the belief that the war is 
almost over aod that the time nas 
come for some relaxation at home, 
Further, when the war keeps its 
furious pace for weeks after “\V" 
Day dates previously predicted, the 
morale of many people is unsettled, 


In these crucial days preceding 
the final knockout, Canadians at 
home may again take their cue from 
Canadiass at the battle fronts. Over 
there none marks time, waiting for 
Germany to collapse. They are all 
on their toes, fighting as energetic- 
ally as at any previous period of the 
war, Over here our duty seems 
just as clear cut --- a duty which 
calls ws to work as hard as we have 
ever worked before, and to keep our 
production lines as vigorous as they 
have ever been before — through 
the purchase of Victory Loan bonds.

Danger From Bacteria Forming In Government Has Placed Restrictions Changes Made In Clocks At Gireen- 


Milk Cans 


With the exception of poorly cared 
for milking machines, there is prob- 
ably no other utensils which may add 
so many bacteria tc milk as the ship- 
ping can. Even where shipping cans 
are washed and steamed at the plant 
or factory, some moisture generally 
remains in the can, When the can is 
left with the lid on in a warm place, 
millions of bacteria grow in the mcis 
ture and seed the milk at the next 
milking. Lids should be removed and 
cans placed upside down on a drain- 
ing rack as soon as pcssible, so that 
they will dry out and bacterial 
growth will be checked. As a fur- 
ther precaution, the cans should be 
rinsed with hypochlorite. Cans used 
to carry skim-milk or whey back to 
the farm should be emptied and wash 
ed without delay. 

The chief factors in the production 
of quality milk and cream are clean, 
healthy cows and = milkers; sound, 
utensils, properly cleaned and stertl-[{ 
{zed and prompt and adequate cooling. | 
Attention to those factors will prevent 
loss due to spoilage and will help 
raise the quality of Canadian dairy 
products, states the reprinted Spec- 
ial Pamphlet of the Wartime Pro 
duction Series on “Producing Pure 


| Milk”. 


The term “quality milk” or cream 
includes a number of factors. Milk 
should be safe for human consump- 
tion free from disease germs; have 
satisfactory food value as indicated 
by a proper content of butterfat and 
other milk constituents; be free from 
Visible dirt, and from unpleasant 
odours or flavours, and it should keep 
sweet for a reasonable length of time. , 


TILLAGE AND WEEDS 

Fall tillage is proving valuable as 
a cultural practice for the control of 
both annual and perennial weeds 
While fall cultivation will not germ

numbers of wild cats, mustard, stink-

"Checkmate."

The Third Reich 


Is Now 


| 


Prostrate At The Feet Of 
Its Enemies 


Nothing could express world opinion | 
better than a short paragraph from 
Sweden's ‘“Goeteborgs Posten" of, 
September 10th. This paper from a! 
persistently neutral country wrote: — | 

“The Third Reich is no longer able} 
to seize the throats of its neighbours. | 
It will soon be lying at the feet of its 
enemies. The road home for Ger- 
man occupation troops from the Bal-| 
kans will certainly poss through 
Allied priscn camps. Now the battle 
for Germany has begun. The tramp 
of vast Alled armies is echoing along 
the German Frontiers. Wherever 
Hitler may look from his demolished 
workroom he sees nothing but fleeing 
or defeated armies 
practically isolated in the Balkans, 
the Baltic States, Northern Finland 
and Norway, with many divisions in 
danger in Holland, Denmark and 
Northern Italy, Germany's position is 
much more desperate than at the 
fime of the Armistice in 1918 There 
can be no doubt as to the outcome 
of the war. What experience have 
the Gtrman people of Guerrilla war- 
fare? De the Germans believe they 
can imitate the feats of the oppressed 
peoples of France, Norway, Denmark, 
Poland and Yugoslavia? It is not 
surprising that many races and na 
tiens who for more than five years 
have labouring under the Nazi 
voke witness Germany's predicament 
without feeling any or 
merey.”

RECIPES 
ENERGY FOOD 
From the time the baby gets that 
first spoonful of solid food until the 
day the trunk is packed for college, 
cereal constituted a good part of the 


daily diet. Toddlers get cereal night 


and morning As school children it's 
their energy-starter for the day 
Even in their teen years they find 
it a good filler upper, both at meals 
and in between 

Most youngsters like cereals and a 
lucky thing it is!) Topped with either 
cream or milk, the morning cereal 
either hot or cold, is a fine source of 
energy. Cereals combined with milk 
provide a good supply of those 
nutrients that children need for 
growth 

These cereals are smart in cook- 
ing, too. Take the matter of cookies 


How the youngsters love them! Even 


cookies should offer food value plus 


flavor. Honey Krisp Cookies do both 
for they're made with pure country 
honey and crisp rice cereal
